Surprisingly, git doesn't track renames (seriously, there's no metadata
in the .git directory that tells you when a file was moved).  It merely
uses heuristics and a similarity index to guess when a rename exists.
There are ways to tighten the similarity index (git diff -M90% instead
of git diff -M), as well as disable similarity checking altogether (git
diff -l1, and various settings in git config).
